Nikki Haley was South Carolina’s governor when a bigot went into a Black church and opened fire. That was eight years ago.
Host Jim Niedelman discusses gun violence with Haley, who was South Carolina’s governor when nine Black people were murdered at their church in Charleston by a white supremacist.
It eventually led to the removal of the Confederate flag outside the South Carolina Capitol.
